Like some others said I feel like there is a good chance the Texans are picking higher next year than this. They benefitted big time from playing in the AFC South, and I can see the all 3 of those other teams being tougher this year.

I view the opportunity cost being Hooker, I think that is who we take if we stay put. I like Hooker on our team more than Peppers, I think we were slightly stronger at SS than FS coming in (but lulzy at both), Hooker is considered a better prospect, Peppers is a better pick for the culture though (and we don't have one right now), so I like that pick too.

The main reason I say yes is that it gives us that extra 1st next year in case Kizer doesn't look great, and we love a 1st round QB. I don't think we pick #1 next year, so we need all the ammo we can get.

I obviously loved Malik, but I also trust G. Williams if this is the guy he thought would be best for him.

Pretty much my thoughts.

And the more I find out about Jabrill Peppers, the more I lament writing him off. The position he will play is a critical spot for this defensive scheme. Much more than deep safety. Then when you factor in the intensity and fun that he brings to every aspect of the game, it might end up being the best pick of the draft as far as building a championship culture.

I would have rather had OJ since he would have helped the pass game and run game with his blocking. but I guess we have to see what happens next year with that pick.

I think we could have gotten peppers in the 2nd.

Njoku can be all Howard can be.

Cannot say the same for Peppers vs. Hooker.

Getting th #1 2018 pick clinches it for me, but I will interested in watching Peppers' and Hooker's careers._________________Everything happens exactly the way it is supposed to happen...otherwise, it would happen some other way

Peppers can not be all that Hooker can be, but.... Hooker also can not be all that Peppers can be.

They are 2 entirely different players, playing 2 entirely different roles and positions.

Peppers can be, and will be I believe, every bit as good at his role, if not better, than Hooker will be at his role.

Also, either player could just suck.

I don't expect either player to suck. It could happen, I just simply do not expect it to happen. I honestly can envision them being team mates in the probowl for a lot of years together._________________But wait! There's more!

I voted Yes, because on its face I thought I saw a definitive plan come together for a 2018 Franchise QB and using the 2017 Draft to build up our defense mainly.

The selection of Kizer, instead of a high probability starter in the defensive backfield (in arguably the deepest position group draft since our '99 return), has thrown some doubt in that speculation. I realize that it was a high value pick. I realize that maybe, just maybe, we drafted a developmental QB with some good tools who could actually pan out...but maybe not. Question is, how long do you give Kizer to develop and do positive signs of development cause us to not be as aggressive in moving up for a higher probability Franchise QB in 2018? I don't like those questions, those questions are potentially devastating if answered wrongly.
